The Pious Union was first established at the Little Flower Shrine, San Antonio, Texas in 1933.  At a later date it was combined with what is now the Archconfraternity of the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.  The mission of this organization is to promote and spread devotion to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and to Saint Therese, the Little Flower of Jesus.  We profess our dedication to them under their protection, pleading for their intercession; as individuals who wear the Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, we join ourselves to the apostolate of the prayer of the Carmelite Order.  Special days of recollection are held twice a year.
 
Special Dates/Announcements:  One of our major events is the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel on July 16, celebrated
with a procession, a special mass, reception and the distribution of the scapulars to all in attendance.
